Funny stuff.
I worked with a guy, who told me a story of how he bought cannoli pastry and then had an accident. The gooey stuff was all over the car but he was allright.
Reminds me of "take the cannoli and leave the gun".
BTW - I don't miss the winters at all.
Hoping you get down here soon, and end the miserable winters, once and for all!!!!
